I have been setting up my spreadsheets where I track wins and losses during the season, and noted the following "odd" trivia:
- most schools play at least the standard permitted 29 games. South Carolina and Penn State are the only power 5 schools this season not to play at least 29 games.
- teams that play in 3 game tourneys (subject to certain restrictions) can play an extra game, and teams that play in the pre-seaason WNIT and the Hall of Fame classic (both 4 game tourneys) can play up to 2 extra games. Not every team is doing so, but the WNIT power 5 teams are Nebraska, Missouri, Notre Dame and Washington.
- oddly enough, Oregon is playing 2 extra games, one for a 3 game tourney (in Hawai'i) and one for going to Hawai'i and playing them (another exemption). Double dipping, no?
- Iowa State has the "cushiest" travel schedule. All OOC games at home except against - wait for it - Iowa. Talk about a low travel budget . . .
